KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A witness told the High Court here that a construction company had issued three cheques totalling RM1,011,520 under the name of Messrs Lewis & Co - a trustee of Yayasan Akalbudi - belonging to Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Cergas Murni Sdn Bhd director Paul Latimer, 78, said part of the money was for the "protection money” for gangsters while the remaining was meant for his company’s operational matters which included payment to subcontractors and suppliers during the construction of the third bridge in Klang from 2014 to 2017.
